Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is an electromagnet?

  1. A permanent magnet
  2. A magnet made by passing current through a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core
  3. A magnet found in nature
  4. A magnet that repels everything
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BA magnet made by passing current through a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core
An electromagnet is a temporary magnet created by electric current flowing through a coil (solenoid). Adding a soft iron core strengthens it. It can be switched on and off.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

How can you increase the strength of an electromagnet?

  1. Use a longer wire
  2. Increase the current, add more coils, or add a soft iron core
  3. Decrease the current
  4. Use a plastic core
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BIncrease the current, add more coils, or add a soft iron core
Electromagnet strength increases with: more current, more turns of wire, and adding a soft iron core (which is easily magnetised and demagnetised).

CIE IGCSE Physics: Electromagnetic Effects FAQ

How many CIE IGCSE Physics questions on Electromagnetic Effects are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 14 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Electromagnetic Effects for CIE IGCSE Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CIE paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Electromagnetic Effects practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Electromagnetic Effects questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is Electromagnetic Effects typically tested on CIE IGCSE Physics papers?
Electromagnetic Effects appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
